The first section of the route between Herzberg and Alpe Schwarzenberg is especially exciting for children and nature lovers. Many of the stones on the roadside are covered with small fossils to be discovered.

Thrill and fear of heights seekers might get in a short time through the safe via ferrata to the summit of Beslers at 1,679 meters above sea level. It was recently renovated and offers unique emotions and indescribable landscapes by limestone walls of the nature park. However, a nice alternative without climbing is available.

Once on top of Beslers, we go through a limestone plateau with many ridges and grooves. There are growing interesting plants such as monkshood. Use caution because the Eisenhut is considered the most poisonous plant in Europe

On the descent through mountain forests and grasslands of Schoenberg-Alpe you can find with a bit of luck in the summer an animal species of mountains: chamois.
